Opened to this!! We’ve had our pool 10 years and this has NEVER happened !! What do we do? We need a new liner, everyone’s closed and I’m assuming it’ll be awhile before getting one installed. 
Swamp !!!

Stock up on liquid chlorine.
Run a set of tests and post it.
Before you add stabilizer/CYA add 10 ppm of liquid chlorine and test your free chlorine after 30-minutes. If your FC is 3 ppm or greater then you are good to do the SLAM Process.

With an old liner that is always a risk. I don't know the structure of your pool.
Do I fill the pool with water if I leave it as is and start the filter And then test water or test water now before filling And setting hoses and everything back up?

You need to get the hoses set and the filter and pump running for a day before you test the water chemistry.
I drained pool as much as I could, then refilled it, added cya and started filter. How soon can I check levels and start SLAM process?

Cya= I added enough to get it to 30
Can I test pH ? Will that be accurate?
Can I start adding bleach now? If yes, How much? Filter only been running for about 3 hours.

Yes, test your pH.
You using PoolMath to calculate doses of chemicals?
Put how many gallons in your pool into your profile.

The SLAM Process takes a week or more. Check your FC and brush your pool frequently. Follow the process. Be patient.

Follow SLAM Process exactly as to not damage your liner & ensure algae eradication. U can Use PoolMath app to log results & additions so we can see what’s going on. It helps us help u
I was given 30 bottles of bleach from dollar tree but they are Fresh Scent. Can I use that?

That Fresh Scent are additives that may cause foaming or scum on the water surface. Hard to say what an additive may do in the pool.
Water is slightly cloudy but I can see through it !! How do I get rid of this last bit of cloudiness? (I’m hoping to get my fresh refill tf-100 kit tomorrow in mail.)
